Grandpa's Talladega Run

Shane's Grandfather, John took a 6 lap trip in April down the Talladega raceway.  So, I thought I'd let him re-live his experience of driving a Nascar car. John & his wife Leanne live in an RV and follow some of the races so I had to put it on the cake too! Everything that you see is Marshmallow fondant... the raceway, the cars, the RV, the Talladega logo... all covered in fondant. They visited us for a few days & we had a family gathering on Saturday, June 4th.
The raceway is made out of 5 -12 inch cakes which were pieced together to form the raceway.
I made 6 Nascar cars out of marshmallow fondant... but some were way more detailed then others! This is the #18 M&M's car  driven by Kyle Busch.
This is the # 31 car driven byJeff Burton.
This is the #99 car driven by Carl Edwards.
This is car # 88 driven by Dale Earnhardt Jr.
This is car # 17 driven by Matt Kenseth.
This is car # 6 driven by David Ragan.
